Editorial Reviews

"Overall, A Guide to Hazard Identification Methods is a good resource for faculty looking to increase their knowledge about hazard identification methods. Faculty could use these methods in their own laboratories to enhance the safety of their research program. They can also share these methods with their undergraduate and graduate students to increase their awareness of the hazard identification methods used in industry - and help meet accreditation criteria as well." —ChE book review (Chemical Engineering Education)
